ExtGlyph

About Fancytree glyph extension.

• Status: production
• Examples: bootstrap and font awesome

Use glyph-fonts, ligature-fonts, or SVG icons instead of icon sprites.

This plugin includes presets for some popular glyph fonts (e.g. Font Awesome, ...) and ligature fonts (e.g. Material icons). There is also a demo for SVG icons.

Options

• map, type: {object}, default: {}
  Map of icon class names for different symbol types. Use this map to override the settings that are defined by the preset option.

• preset, type: {object}, default: awesome4 (since 2.24)
  Define a default set of icon names.
  Possible values: "awesome3", "awesome4", "bootstrap3".
  Don't forget to include a matching css file for the preset.

Events

ext-glyph does not define own callbacks, but the tree.options.icon option is also useful here to define node icons (simply return a the class names, e.g. "fa fa-foobar").

Methods

(n.a.)

Example

In addition to jQuery, jQuery UI, and Fancytree, include jquery.fancytree.glyph.js.

Then add the glyph css, like bootstrap.min.css, font-awesome.min.css, or similar.

It is also important to use a Fancytree theme that is optimized for glyph icons instead of gif sprites, for example skin-awesome or skin-bootstrap:

  <!-- Include glyph font definitions, for example matching `preset: "awesome4"` -->
  <link href="//maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css" rel="stylesheet" >
  <!-- Include a Fancytree skin that support glyphs -->
  <link href="../src/skin-awesome/ui.fancytree.css" rel="stylesheet">

  <script src="//code.jquery.com/jquery-3.3.1.min.js"></script>
  <script src="js/jquery.fancytree-all-deps.min.js"></script>

$("#tree").fancytree({
  extensions: ["glyph"],
  icon: function(event, data){
    // (Optional dynamic icon definition...)
  },
  glyph: {
    // The preset defines defaults for all supported icon types.
    // It also defines a common class name that is prepended (in this case 'fa ')
    preset: "awesome4",
    map: {
      // Override distinct default icons here
      folder: "fa-folder",
      folderOpen: "fa-folder-open"
    }
  },
  ...
});

The bootstrap theme also plays well with the ext-wide extension.

Glyph Mapping Presets

Font Awesome 3.2 (outdated)

Include the glyph css, use the skin-awesome theme, and define the icon mapping:

  <link href="../src/skin-awesome/ui.fancytree.css" rel="stylesheet">

preset: "awesome3" defines these default mappings:

map: {
  _addClass: "",
  checkbox: "icon-check-empty",
  checkboxSelected: "icon-check",
  checkboxUnknown: "icon-check icon-muted",
  dragHelper: "icon-caret-right",
  dropMarker: "icon-caret-right",

[Howto] Use SVG Icons

[Howto] Define custom icons per node type

Use the icon callback to define per-node custom icons:

$("#tree").fancytree({
  ...
  icon: function(event, data){
    if( data.node.isFolder() ) {
      return "glyphicon glyphicon-book";
    }
  },

Another approach is to override the icon class directly with the node data:

[
  {"title": "Node 1", "key": "1", "icon": "glyphicon glyphicon-book" },
  ...
